Why we love it

The views from the rooftop at Doro Nawas Camp is incredible. Not only can you see a varied terrain, with nothing but miles of desert, bush, canyons and the dry savannah of the Huab River valley, but at nighttime, the lack of light pollution means that stargazing reveals the night sky in its entirety.

The camp

The stand-alone rooms at Doro Nawas Camp have stone walls, with wood frames, thatched roofs and large, opening glass doors to bring the vast desert area into the rooms, creating a sense of harmony between nature and the camp. Each chalet has a stone floor that extends out to become a veranda, and there is the option to bring the beds out onto the veranda for sleepouts under the dazzling night sky. The rooms are elegantly decorated in dark tones, a pleasant contrast to the bright outdoors, and the high ceiling keeps the rooms cool. Of the 16 large thatched chalets, one is a family compound sleeping four, while the rest are a mixture of double and twin bed configurations. The ensuite bathrooms all have outdoor showers and are especially memorable at night, under a starry sky.

The main lodge looks more like a fortress than a camp, with rounded stone walls, a rooftop, long swimming pool and pretty courtyard. Built on top of a rocky outcrop, the panoramic views of the valley and river bed are stunning, and the rooftop is the perfect place to watch sunset with a sundowner in hand.

Facilities

A long pool, open-air courtyard, indoor seating area and a rooftop that offers 360 degree views of Damaraland and the night sky.

Dining

Indoor and outdoor dining areas, depending if you want the meal by candlelight or moonlight.

Why Wayfairer

Close to 500 community members own and preserve the Doro Nawas Conservancy and hold a 40% share in Doro Nawas Camp, so everyone benefits from the high-end camp. Run by Wilderness Safaris, Doro Nawas Camp is another leader in terms of setting a good example in Namibian hospitality and community based eco-tourism. Doro Nawas Camp has also taken strides to minimising its impact on the local environment by installing solar-heated showers, a hybrid energy system and wastewater treatment to ensure water returns to the dry region.
